Horizon view
Horizon from Capella E
7.5321° S, 37.6991° E · cell 28MCL
- Highest horizon point
- Capella E: 18.4° above the horizontal, 6.63 km away at azimuth 209°.
- Farthest visible point
- 11.4 km away at azimuth 0°, 10.4° from the horizontal.
- Observer
- Eye 2 m above the ground, which is 3,131 m below the 1,737.4 km reference sphere.
- Sun at the rendered time
- The Sun is above the local horizon: 83.8° high at azimuth 355°, 73.5° above the skyline there. At 2026-10-22 18:42:24 UTC, when this page was served.
- Resolution
- Terrain resolution: about 1.9 km, the global LOLA terrain tier of 16 pixels per degree; relief smaller than that, near or far, is smoothed, and the model does not include boulders or other surface hazards.
